The Sunblade Chase

But he saw horse prints, going away from the temple.

Leo mounted his horse, and followed the prints day and night, until one day, he saw someone in the distance.

It was the guide.

Leo was careful not to be seen, and slowly tried to go around the guide, Until he was ambushed by a group of goblins.

He swiftly defended himself with his sword, blocking every attempted hit.

The guide, unaware of this, was continuing his journey, unknowing of Leo's presence.

Leo finished off the goblins. He continued to follow the guide.

He went around the guide, and ambushed the guide from his front. They clashed into a 10 minute battle between him and the guide. Eventually the guide was defeated, but not before saying: The Dark Lord is your missing father.

Leo didn't believe him. He continued his mission to find the Dark Lord's tower.

Finally he found it after remembering the directions the village elder gave him. He defeated the 2 guards at the bottom of the tower, and fought his way up to the top, where he fought the dark lord himself.
